Yes We Can. A White House spokesman said that they won’t schedule President Obama’s State of the Union speech on the same night as the LOST premiere.
Darlton’s reactions to the news:
Carlton Cuse tweeted:
No State of the Union conflict with LOST! We go Feb. 2!
and
In exchange for moving his speech, Damon and I promise to answer ANY questions the President has about LOST.
Damon Lindelof used all the exclamation points he was saving for a special occasion:
OBAMA BACKED DOWN!!!! Groundhog Day is OURS!!!!!!! (God Bless America)
and:
Okay. So Obama didn’t technically “back down.” He leveraged Carlton and I to do something on the show. Two words. MORE FROGURT
Ha.
